“We need something that can function in low light, poor weather conditions, and it can sort of withstand our West Coast weather,” James said.

      I suggest a .50 cal to take out assholes on jet skis.

      Please refrain from encouraging the death of jet skiers.

      Yes some are assholes but this does not justify for the call of cold blooded murder.

      First offence, temp 2 day ban.

      Edit:
      This violates rule 2 of our instances for both Piefed.ca and Lemmy.ca:

      Argue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.

      No. Yes. And any sonar that exists is already in use and has been since its invention. We are asked to turn sonar devices off when near whales.

      It sounds like they’re talking about some sort of flir device.

        Makes sense, sonar seems too obvious.

        Using flir for whale detection seems very interesting, I didn’t know it could penetrate water to work well. I’ve use the handheld devices and they are neat little things.

          Afaik flir is for above water only. Assuming that’s the tech they’re talking about though, it’s the early detection of breaching they’re likely looking for, so it may help.
